But now it's not, clearly the cloaked scout + shotgun is dominating the field and Dust is a horrific game to play for those that aren't specced right.
Thanks for the first week of 1.8 though, it was truly special. |

Wow, I didn't realise what a negative reaction this would get.
All I seem to ever see is proto gallente/caldari scout with proto/advanced shotguns.
I love this idea that you are supposed to see a scout coming, I get that. However, seeing four or five at the same time is not only a ludicrous suggestion, but putting them down is impossible.
Scout + Cloak = Great!
Scout + Shotgun = Great!
Shotgun + Cloak = Great!
Scout + Cloak + Shotgun = Overpowered.
It is the combination of all three items and the fact that more players than ever are running scout that makes the playstyle ridiculously OP. The scout's speed just adds to how easy it is to get in close and not suffer the poor playstyle that the cloak is offering. It's just like when the TAR was amazing, everybody picked up on it and that's pretty much all you ever saw because it's downright better than everything else.
I play on european servers so if you're thinking GÇ£nah that never happensGÇ¥ then sorry but it does over here.
Maybe the cloak should operate with a long fire delay so it's used more for espionage and sabotage than as an assault suit. |

Just to clarify for those that can't read:
This thread is about how balanced Dust felt in the first week of 1.8. Since then it has devolved into nothing but invisible scouts and shotguns.
My main point is this:
Scout + Cloak + Shotgun = OP as ****.
Telling me to chase the FoTM is ******* dumb whoever that was. I am a heavy, and my niche is such that I am slow and not very good at detecting stuff which is why the scout is such a good counter to the heavy. Don't be all telling me that I should keep my eyes open and to GÇ£get goodGÇ¥ because with the combo above, I literally can't do anything to more than one scout at a time. And just to be clear, I keep my head on a swivel and watch my flanks but like the last sentence says, I can't watch my back and flanks six times at once.
Before cloaks, scouts had to be smart and pick their moments.
Now they do not.
Cloaks need to be an espionage based tool, not an assault one. |
